Request body is not sent with useChat after upgrading to >=2.2.26

[zachtball]

Description

Install version >2.2.25 Use useChat hook and point the api at a lambda url (haven't tested another backend service) Try to log the request body, it is undefined Install version 2.2.25 Works fine

Code example

  const { messages, input, handleInputChange, append, isLoading, setMessages } = useChat({
    api: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_CHAT_LAMBDA_URL,
    body: {
      functions,
      idToken,
      ...settings,
    },
  });

in my backend (lambda) I do

console.log('body', event.body);
// INFO body undefined

Change version to "ai": "2.2.25", and it works fine

INFO    body 
{
    "messages": [
...

Hey thanks for the reply, sadly that did not work for me.

This is an issue for me in 3.0.23. Any resolution? body is not dynamic.

You can send in the body in handleSubmit if it's dynamic: https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs/ai-sdk-ui/chatbot#setting-custom-body-fields-per-request
